ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE SLASHES CAMPAIGN SPENDING
The Empire (a.k.a. the “Republican” establishment) may be striking back in Washington, D.C. – but it’s striking out on the campaign trail.
The latest evidence? The ongoing demise of one-time GOP frontrunner Jeb Bush‘s campaign.
Bush is reportedly cutting pay for his campaign staff as his foundering presidential bid approaches the 100-day mark leading up to the first ballots being cast in Iowa.
“The campaign is removing some senior staff from the payroll, parting ways with some consultants, and downsizing its Miami headquarters to save more than $1 million per month and cut payroll by 40 percent this week,” according to Bloomberg. “The campaign is also cutting back 45 percent of its budget, except for dollars earmarked for TV advertising and spending for voter contacts, such as phone calls and mailers.”
Ouch …
According to the latest aggregate polling data from Real Clear Politics, Bush is currently running in fifth-place among “Republican” candidates with 7.2 percent of the vote. Among early states, he’s in fifth-place in Iowa (5.7 percent), third place in New Hampshire (9.3 percent) and sixth place in South Carolina (5.7 percent).

Republicans imploding left and right. If you think we are going to have a President Trump or a President Carson you are a wing nut. I’d actually prefer Trump of the two.
How Carson is even polling at all is perplexing. It’s like republican primary voters are looking for who can say the most ridiculous shit. Sarah Palin needs to jump in on this action.
No primary votes have been cast yet.
I went to the Trump speech in Anderson. (Record crowd for that venue but only about1/2 what Trump claimed.) Looking and listening to folks who came explains the attraction. If you can, go to see these candidates. Seeing the composition of their audience will leave you less perplexed.
A pro rasslin’ audience?
Nah, Daddy, they’re smarter and less racist.
If you will…
Kinda like a Democrat rally with cop killers and radical Islamists on stage?
Nope. Sorry, buddy.
There were no minorties there at all.
Just dumb, ignorant, bigoted white bumpkins.
You would have been like a pig in shit.
???? Carson? Uninformed voters elected an American hating traitor and radical Islamist lover 2x’s named Obama-that according to the WSJ was going to shoot down Israel’s planes in support of the terrorists.
Carson seems like a breath of fresh air.
Lay off the booze, GT.
I’m the bottom tonight.
How do you like your new madam President ?
Waiting to watch Hillary and Uma working the “Weiner” at the same time!
Don’t worry. When you die you will go to this beautiful planet with an unpronounceable name and be surrounded by tons of happy white people who think exactly like you
Sweet ass, nice rack, long legs, empty skull.
If she swallows SHES PERFECT!!!!
YOU BETCHA!
Making that phone call and getting Trump to run has worked out better that I ever could have imagined!!!
Please let him hook up with Carson! If people though McCain/Palin was a flaming pile of shit, wait till they get a look at the Two Stooges!
You are the master sir. The Master.
We’ve been playing these fools for decades. Don’t forget, I come from Arkansas.
Same dumb, easy to lead type of people, like the typical Trump supporter.
Shit.I kicked the shit out of Hillary and will take her down in 2016 so we can try and steal an election in 2020.
Steal elections?
Ha! Amateurs.
Trump has been the Trojan Horse. Brilliant move!
Now that the “Republicans”, aka Fuckin’ Cockroaches, are pissing all over their collective shoes it is about time for the “Democrats”, aka Fuckin’ Cockroaches, to roll out the Draft Michelle Machine
Doubt if POTUS’ first squeeze will promise a chicken in every pot but almost guarantee she will provide you with a nutritious lunch meal that will pucker your anus tighter than willie’s lips on a Cuban cigar
Glad you’re sitting out the election. Let the adults decide.
I always thought that was Monica’s lips around a Hav-A-Tampa Presidential Select!
All while you stand by sucking a Swisher Sweet and offering your White Owl to strangers
Boy, glad I don’t work for that guy.
Why? I hear he pays his servants right above minimum wage.
Hey, at least he is laying people off. If this were Carly she would just tell them to keep working their ass off; and then not pay them.
Ya gotta love how the word “Bush” is impossible to find at any Bush rally..he is so tainted by the name he wants to go all Madonna and Bonoish…its like a huge fart after burrito night in a small space..ya just can’t escape it…
BUSH-3
BUSH-III
The 3rd BUSH
(and all really 4th if we count Sen. Preston)
Don’t let him hide it.
In his defense “Jeb? Holy Shit, not another Bush!!!” was a little too long for a bumper sticker, so he shorten it to “Jeb!”
Hey pussy.Obama is -9 in approval today.W. has a high approval rating than Obama,pussy.
Oh no. GrandTango is drunk again.
Gallup puts Obama at 46% Bush in the second term avg approval rating 37% Republican led congress rating 14% yeah you dickless wonder..another proven lie from the fucking idiot who tried to start a conservative political blog, in the south…and failed. Fucking loser what does Obamas approval rating have to do with Bush hiding from his name????..nothing but… you are obsessed with:
1:Obama
2: gay anal sex
3: gay oral sex
4: Homosexuality in general
5: writing congratulatory posts ..to yourself in the form of numerous stupid names you make up on the spot…all to validate your own posts.
We all see a clear pattern here..funny seems you love what you criticize the most…and well…you are a total asshole but hey you got gay fantasies to keep you going..right? Right!
He is at 42% you stupid cocksucker.Obama said he could get elected if he ran again and 30% said they would vote for him ya American hating bastard.
You and the kids have a nice weekend wife beater.

Wrong!
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Obama’s job approval rating at 51%, while 45% disapprove.
Oh.Rueters has him at -9 TODAY with 3 other polls having him at -5.
LMAO. WP/ABC must have gotten a huge check from ISIS.NO poll has had him above water for months.
Please, lay off the booze, GT.
You fucking stupid enough when you’re sober.
#6 Use other’s screen name.
A $100 million SuperPAC in his back pocket and he can’t even get to Iowa. The Republicans sure know how to pick them. Fawning over Trump and Carson only makes you look foolish.
Tell us again how it is a great idea to stir up the Tea Party to insure that Obama is a one term President. Bwaaahaaaaa!
Bad news for Jeb. Good news for the Republican Party.
…Bush?
If the Republicans would choose a candidate worth a shit instead of what they have really Cruz…..come on get ready to say Madam Clinton. …..
